Can't comment on the t nez but the Hansons were super thick, I loved mine. Think they were just regular length.

Ha yep, I got a BSD sprocket many moons ago! One of my first 'aftermarket' parts. Probably 97?

So many shitty complete bike companies I've never heard of, all doing the same things, completely saturating the market.

A chair with 3 legs doesn't fall over, and when you stop thinking about chairs and think about drivers it also means that the driver tends to "self centre" between those 3 pawls, spreading the load as evenly as possible and reducing stress and wear.

Girlfriend asked what I was reading. Tried explaining this concept to her. She thought about it long and hard, and asked 'what if all the legs were in the middle, and I sat on the edge? the chair would fall over'

What do you say to that G.

She thinks about me long and hard too.

Its too bad that the new crop of bmx kids don't give a fuck about anything since its sorta got its own subculture. Back when I had to ride home 20 miles up hill on flat tires through the snow, there was the Taj de résistance where no one wanted to support mtb/bmx manufacturers and did what they could about supporting rider owned. I would be elated to see that there was the equivalent of that now. Be it that this dude is the mtb manufacturer and to laugh him out of the whole.

Taj starting riding for Giant was the straw that broke the rider-owned camels back.

and joining a BMX conglomerate to manufacture and sell non BMX bikes... I'm fully aware of the tragedy of my fallen childhood hero.

No way you can slag off Taj for the decisions he made, he is not responsible for looking after BMX.
I guaran-fucking-tee that he has "put in" waaaaaay more than his fair share to BMX including his spine... and that "BMX conglomerate" and Taj are the reason we have things like Texas Toast.


G.

I was just messing, Taj is the best.
